Well that was certainly one way to end 2012. Grimmy grew up a bit this year, adding over 20 new categories, and for the first time ever we livestreamed our games of the year selection process. Thank you to those of you that braved the argument marathon with us. We hope we didn’t get too much on you. If so, it shouldn’t take too much acid to get that off. Whether you can remember what happened or were just waiting [...]

The independent developer that impressed us the most this year. Klei Entertainment – Mark of the Ninja Klei Entertainment continues to pump out quality 2D titles, but Mark of the Ninja finally saw the quality of its gameplay match the already high bar established by Klei’s visual style. One of the biggest surprises of the year and best stealth games we have ever played, Mark of the Ninja proves that practice makes perfect even for video game developers. Finalists Humble [...]
I entered this year feeling like I had the video game industry figured out, but I can’t remember a year that surprised quite like 2012. I expected to have my personal game of the year well in hand even before spring ended with only a hint of competition to come from the fall. Instead, a lot of great AAA games had noticeable flaws, even more promising games were delayed, leaving room for more bite sized games to steal my playtime [...]
Graphics and style are all a part of the package. Don’t overthink this. Is this game good looking or not? This game made our eye holes the happiest. Dust: An Elysian Tail Getting past that only one person was behind all of the art an animation of Dust: An Elysian Tail, the best part about how the style of this game comes together is that you’d never question that fact.
